What exactly is the function of a pace car?

To set the pace of the field when there is debris on the circuit, or a crash etc... that sorta thing. Oh, and to look good, which the NSX does quite well ;)
 
Not really sure, but if it was the same type car, at race speeds things can kind of blend together. You wouldn't want a guy under yellow, racing the pace car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Besides the NSX is "showing them the way", like always :) LOL...... (just between us Italians)

Just curious, why didn't they use a Ferrari to pace an all-Ferrari race?

Because that particular event was at the Canadian Gran Prix race track which is a Honda sponsored track. At other Ferrari Challenge venues there will be different pace cars.
 
Okay, thanks for the clarification. I thought they didn't want a Ferrari pace car because they thought it would break down in the middle of the track:D
 
Sorry Larry.. :p

Remember the pouring rain Lime Rock event 2 or 3 years ago where the Dodge Viper actually spun into a ditch as a pace car? That was a classic as well.
